Judge snell's Judgment Condemned.


EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: The YER
dict of Judge Smell In the police court on
last Saturday in the case OF Krause VS.. The
Musical Assembly ia one that should arouse
the Indignation OF every law-abiding, patri-
otic citizen. This case was ostensibly to
test the legality of the boycott, but as II
stands now the boycott sinks into utter In
significance before the injustice done by tho
court. The constitution guarantees to even
the humblest citizen fair aud impartial
trial. But In this case that right was de.
MED. There were eight respectable, law
abiding citizens dragged into the police
court on criminal charges and their names
branded over the country as criminals. The
District attorneys office raked the
town to make case against them, and yet,
the prosecution have closed their side OF the
case, the judge informs counsel for the de-
fense that, III his opinion, the prosecution
had failed to make case and that 1t was
not necessary to put any more witnesses for
the defense on the stand, although they
were In court and ready to go on.
Then after taking ten days to consider, and
without having heard the defendant's side
Of the case, the latter were pronounced
guilty and sentenced to a fine or he i'm
prisoned. II such decisions are allowed to
go on without objection even the most law
abiding citizens will soon loose all respect
for courts Of justice. In the prosecution
Of the case, too, the district attorneys uu.
called for assault upon the character of the
defendants was, to say the least, cowardly
and unfair, ana though 1t may have been
professionally right 1t was unworthy OF a
brave, noble man.
SO far as my connection with the case Is
concerned, although the district attorney
has characterized me as the chief conspira-
tor, have nothing to deny, nothing to be
ashamed or afraid Of. The trial before a
higher court will show that nearly all the
sayings and doings attributed to me are
untrue. All members OF the Musical As
sembly will bear me out that since l have
been It's presiding officer my policy has been
Just the rev, rae Of what have been &C.
cused; 1t has always been one Of concilia-
ton, arbitration, and education.

A Successful Attack on tho Prices Of

the Leading Stocks.
New YORK, Oct. 10.-The week opened
with feyerlsh and generally weak market,
the selling for both sides Of the account
being heaTy throughout. London was a
seller in the early morning and the exam
pie was followed freely; an attempt to
cover was discovered and the market bid
up on the shorts In the middle OF the day,
but the bears hammered the list In the
afternoon and In the absence OF support
prices yielded readily, the lowest prices OF
the day being made In the last half hour.
The news received was generally OF
favorable character. The opening was
active and weak, at declines Of from to
per cent. generally, and the early dealings
were marked by great feverishness, but,
while there were a few slight advances
made in the fret fewminutes, the list soon
yielded, and, under the lead OF st. Paul, was
carried below the opening figures. A sub.
stantial rally then occurred, but the bears
soon got to work, and determined attack
upon st. Paul was followed by the decline
Of the entire market. The last hour saw
the lowest figures reached.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 to 8, last loan at 81 and closing
offered at 8. Sterling exchange is quiet,
but firm. Actual business at 4S0 for
60-day bills, and 4Sil TO 4Sll for de.

HOW BEN BUTLER GOT RICH
Young Men Of To-day May do Like
wise if They Follow Advice
Given.

General d. T. Butler being asked
for some suggestions on gaining sue
cess, stated that when he was younf
lawyer, practicing in Lowell, Mass.
q bank president advised him to take
his little deposit and buy real estate,
from which he could be deriving some
revenue. The general said that he
had but little money and was uncer.
tain as TO his future.
Never mind" said the bank
president" go to the next public
auction of real estate, bid off a lot
with a building of some kind on it,
pay down what money you have and
give your promissory notes for the
balance. You will come out all right :"
General Butler says this advice
was good. When a man has obli-
gated himself, by his notes, to pay
money at certain time, it inclines
him to economy. He followed the
advice, and in time became the
owner of several parcels of valuable
real estate in Lowell.
Two classes will not be likely to
heed such advice-the improvident
and the over-cautious. The latter
will be apt to say: at would be
all right but for those dreadful prom
issory notes. They are always run
ming on and if a man falls sick they
do not wait for him to get WELL"
There is this danger, of course,
but one can make no business VEN
ture without some risk, and with
the knowledge acquired by recent
investigations of the cause of most or
dinary ailments, and the means oi
cure, one runs little risk from that
source. 1t is now known that most OF
the common ailmentsh have their origin
in deranged kidneys. They are the
chief blood purifiers of the system
and when disordered a breaking down
somewhere is soon inevitable, be-
cause the poison, which in their
healthy condition is eliminated, is
carried through the entire system.
Put them in order and health
returns.
&. ID. Dewey, a successful man,
president of the Johnston Harvester
Company, Batavia, n. Y, gives his
experience as follows:
In 1882 my health was failing, my
head panied me constantly, my ap-
petite was uncertain, l could not
sleep soundly. / attributed this to
the extreme pressure of business
cares, but / grew worse, and finally
was confined to my bed for two
months. 1t seemed as though
would "never recover" my former
health. Under the aid of stimulants
l gradually gained strength, so that
in few months | was able TO attend
to business, but / could walk only
with the assistance of a cane, and
then in a slow and unsteady manner.
l continued somewhat in the same
condition until February last, when
l used Warmers safe cure. 1t has
cured me. / consider it a valuable
remedy and can highly recommend
it.
Young men have but to use ordi-
nary prudence, and when any de-
rangement occurs if they use the
same means as did this successful
business man, they may feel a con-
slant assurance of their ability to
carry to successful conclusion all or
dinary business projects including
the care of their promissory notes
when due.

WHY, OF COURSE.

Wheat is worth more at Tacoma, be-
cause il is all cents per Genital nearer
the British market. This nearneSs can
be overcome by reduction of port
charges and expenses here. by a deeper
river channel and By better transpOrta-
tion facilities from the interior. But If
these things are not provided the port IS
going to loss business, and lose II rap
idly"
THE above excerpt, from a dis
discussion of the wheat situation, In
the commercial column OF the OregO-
RiGn of the 10th, shows by applica-
ton some good reasons why Astoria
is the proper and natural point from
which to ship the exports foreign,
from the Columbia river basin, and it
shows plainly the folly of trying to
drag ships one hundred miles inland
against a strong current and over
bars and shoals TO get a cargo that
could be floated down to them with
out delay and trouble. If Portland
fucfCldlihS dIt tlIdlu tlSe dlC GUMS
to "lose business, and lose it rapidly
by competition with the Sound, they
had better arrange to load -four and
wheat on ships at Astoria, the natural
seaport, which they can do, and place
it on board cheaper than can possibly
be done over the Northern Pacific
railroad to the Sound, and thus keep
the commerce In the Columbia river
where it belongs.
Shipmasters, if given their choice,
would certainly prefer to come to As
toria where disasters to shipping so
rarely occur. Let the effort and ex-
pense that is now spent in trying to
take the ocean to Portland be spent in
establishing the cheapest means of
taking her commerce to the ocean at
Astoria. Then Portland will real
ize a reasonable percentage of the
benefits derived as compared with the
hopeless futility of her present effort,
and there need be no fear of ruinous
rivalry from the Sound.

THREE hundred persons have bought
their holdings of the Duke of Aber-

Ireland, on the basis of twenty years
